Judgment of the Day
Here is stupidity: The parents who took their three year old boy to the movie,"Red Eye," a thriller in which a woman is terrorized by her seatmate, who happens to be a really bad guy. These people were walking ahead of me when the movie ended and I heard the man say to the little boy, "Did you like that?" Meanwhile, I'm thinking to myself, "You have GOT to be kidding me!"
Stupid people. Don't take preschoolers to movies that are meant for adults! Hire a babysitter or take the kid to a movie meant for him. What is wrong with people?

People ARE stupid. I just don't get it.
Two toddlers in my area were recently murdered by their parents significant others. Two to many.
I have a friend who watched daily as a baby was placed in a baby swing outside in the sun every morning, and not brought in until dark. She called social services, and they told her to close her curtains.
I'm in agreement with the post. It pisses me off no end for young children to be in a theatre showing something not age appropriate. It's just common sense.
I'm also in agreement with Elizabeth's point: forcing a personal moral view on others is not right. But that's also common sense.

I think they acted stupidly in taking their three year old to the PG-13 movie. Borders on abuse even.
And I know a family. The wife yells and screams often at everyone in her household. She is acting stupidly. Verbally abusive.
But I don't know what I should do, if anything, when I see (or hear) people like the family in the theatre, or the family I know.
What to do when children are exposed to things they are ill equipped to handle? I have been told by too many parents how to raise my own kids, but what to do when abuse is apparent?
Is the movie theater thing abuse?
Good thought provoking post with no easy answers.
